time to reintroduce an old forum car

[RyanD]

Well ive been here a while, but thursday i picked up my nice flame red 172 from mike. Formerly 172gals (iirc)

anyway engine was a tad mucky so gave it a quick clean as i know mike had kept the outside spotless, although gave it a quick wax aswell as the wheels. Anyway thinking a few light touches of carbon and just enjoy it

before

after. - not great but a start before i get time for a big whoring session on it

and the exterior is nice and shiny now

can see the old vtr i had for 4.5years there still

That looks like its been very well looked after!

 

[mace¬]

Looks tidy.

 

[RyanD]

yes i think mike really cared for the exterior. and obviously the wheel refurb recently helped.

they came up nice with some wax aswell. Just a shame my drive to brighton and back last night meant ive got 300 dead flies all over my freshly cleaned front end

think the front end deffo needs a cup/carbon splitter though, just to lower it a tad as its on the 17"s

 

[RyanD]

Its my daily driver so want to keep it mint.

I have this to play with bigger toys on track

 

[C.J]

Looks nice. Pug looks good too

 

[RyanD]

pugs a bit of a state externally. But I like that. Its the engine gearbox and suspension where its mint

 

[Poopensharten]

17's a bit big i think, id have got 16's personally.

Still lovley looking motor, very cared for example!

 

[RyanD]

ok didnt get the 17s they were on the car. Until I find a decent set of cup wheels priced right they are all I have for the car
